Note:

Ms. codex.
Title for manuscript from caption title for predominant work (f. 137r), with alternate title given as well: Stanze di coltura sopra gli horti delle Donne (f. 137r).
Origin: Written in Venice in 1549 (f. 137r).
Script: Written in an italic script by what appears to be a single hand.
Foliation: Paper, 113; [i], 137-248; later foliation in ink, upper right recto. In addition, f. 209r-246r are also paginated as p. 1-75. This section coincides with the third text in the manuscript, Recapricci del Carrara.
Layout: Written in 20 long lines, frame-ruled in lead.
Binding: 18th-century[?] vellum, completely detached from text block and lower hinge almost completely detached from spine. The manuscript was probably part of a larger volume before being placed in its present binding. The first quire of the present manuscript, beginning with f. 137, is quire S. The front flyleaf is missing. The first leaf is almost entirely separated from the binding.
Purchased, 1951.
Formerly owned by Francesco Maria Berio, marchese di Salza, and perhaps originally collected by his father Domenico (d. 1791), the previous marchese (armorial bookplate inside upper cover, Ex libris Marchionis Salsae).
Sold as part of the library of the marchese di Salza to John William Ward, Earl of Dudley (armorial bookplate inside lower cover, motto Comme je fus), after Francesco Mario Berio's death in 1820.
